BMW Rewards Recent College Graduates with Special Incentives

BMW is offering an exclusive cash incentive program for new college graduates looking to realize their dream of owning a luxury car.

BMW is reaching out to recent college graduations in an effort to reward them for their hard work and perseverance. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), a projected total of 1,855,000 students will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in 2015. These graduates are part of the 21 million students who attended American colleges and universities during fall of 2014 according to the NCES.

Rewarding Hard Work

These totals have increased in recent years as more and more young people in the United States have chosen to attend or remain in school at the college level during the recent recession.

Now, BMW is giving them even more reason to believe this – the brand is proud to honor these students’ achievements through an exclusive program offered only to recent college graduates.
